I'm sorry every one for not updating sooner. And I am so sorry that this chapter is so short, but right now I have writers block. I know where I want the story to go. . . I just don't know how to get it there. Well here's a filler in the mean time.

New Jewel, New Enemies

"It's a. . . ." Before Kagome could even finish the miko of the village finished it for her.

"It's another Shikon No Tama."

"No, it is not. Please forgive me for saying this but no. Shikon no tama was the jewel of four souls. Midoriko, and three demon souls are what had created the jewel. This jewel however, is from me. I created it. But how?" Kagome said more in thought than to any one else.

"Perhaps, from the time of your death." Sesshomaru suggested

"Which death?" Kagome asked somewhat serious.

"What do you mean? I was not aware that any one, be it human, youkai, or somewhere in between, could die more than once."

"I died once. But Sesshomaur would not let me go, so he used his father's fang to resurrect me. Then when I lost my humanity, when I became demon, I considered that another death. For I was in fact, reborn into another body. It's odd really, my life."

"Why do you say that?" Rei asked.

"Because it is true. . . .to be honest, I can't really count on one hand how many times I've died. It's odd. First my soul was sucked out of me then. . ."

"WE GET THE POINT MOTHER!" Hoshitu said in frustration walking and hearing about his mother's demise. He did not wish to hear any of it.

"Do not raise your . . ."

"It's okay Sesshomaru. He is, after all, our son. He simply does not wish to hear the bad things that I have been through right now. Not after seeing it for himself. Where is Koikotsu?"

"Right here." Koikotsu said as he walked into the little hut. "Mother. Is this what they are after?" He asked while staring at the jewel in her hand.

"Yes, my love, it is."

Sesshomaru growled at the affection going on between the hayou and his mate. Koikotsu looked up at his father and gave him a confused look. Kagome giggled. "Do not mind your father, he is just being a little jealous and possessive."

"I AM NOT JEALOUS!" Sesshomaru roared.

"Then please tell me oh great lord, why is it that you have lost your cool and yelled at your mate?" Rei questioned with a gleam in her eyes.

Sesshomaru turned red with anger and embarrassment. He had been called out, by all of them. 'Damn emotions!' He growled silently to himself. But Kagome caught the growl and had heard his thoughts. She leaned into her mate and licked his chin, signifying who was the Alpha. She then nuzzled his cheek and kissed his lips gently.

"Eww, grose, mom not in front of us!" Hoshitu cried.

Koikotsu snickered because he knew what was coming.

"Oh really Hoshitu? I thought that you might have wanted lessons for Ashanti."

Hoshitu blushed a mad red.

"Who is Ashanti?" Sesshomaru inquired.

"Oh, that's right. You will just have to wait and see my lord." Kagome said slyly.

"Is that so?" He questioned her with a raised eyebrow.

She giggled and kissed him again before taking the jewel and attaching it to a neckless before putting it around her neck.
